SPECIAL NOTICE.

1t is highly important that the friends
and supporters Of General Nichols should
keep themselves thoroughly informed in
regard to the progress of the canyass now
going on in this State. The most eminent
leaders of the Louisiana Democracy are in
the field. Nichols clubs are being organ-
lied IN every parish, public meetings of
great interest are almost Of daily occur
renee, and the discussion Of the various
issues involved is marked by unusual
earnestness and ability. The Picayune has
furnished it's readers with an accurate and
comprehensive account of this movement
from its inception, and viii continue to do
so to the close of the struggle, in order
that the public may understand the situa-
ton perfectly, and that General Nichols
and his friends MAJ be fully and fairly re-
ported. Many OF the. weekly papers are
doing noble work in the good cause, and
we ourselves have been much indebted to
them for their contributions to the gener-
al discussion; but only a daily paper has
the opportunity and the facilities rcqui-
site to an immediate and complete report
of the whole canvass with all it's details
and in all its varying phases. For these
reasons. we deem it proper to commend
the Daily Picayune to the favorable con
sideration of all who are interested in the
effort now being made to secure our party
and the State from the evils of ring rule
and personal government.

THE HOUSE AND THE PRESIDENCY.

Ways Suggested by Which the Control May
be Given to the Democracy.
Washington SPECIAL in the Boston Herald.
While the Republicans have a majority of the
State delegations in the House. the Democrats
have majority of the members OF that body
and by the change of two seats only they could
transfer the power to chose a President to their
own side The Indiana delegation consists of
seven Republicans and six Democrats The
seating OF one Democrat in place of a Republican
would give that delegation to the Democrats,
nor would it be necessary to make mp to
bring about that result a contest over a seat
awarded to q Republican for that State is pend
ing. A change of ono seat in the Michigan
delegation would transfer il from the Republic
ar to the Democratic SIDE but it would require
an exercise of brazen partisanship to make that
change. The California delegation. which
there is a contest. could be neutraiized by seat
ing one Demoeras where a Republican now holds.
1t would require the actual transfer of the
control OF two State delegations from the Re-
publicans to the Democrats in order to give the
latter votes enough to elect Presidents in the
House. and. though the arbitrary of the
party majority in the House ia mentioned as a
means by which the result could be attained it
Is doubtful If, in these DAYS of reform and indie
pendent political sentiments, any party would
risk such hieh-handed measures.
From California two Democrats are contest
ing the right of two Republican mem bers to seats
in the House. Fer the right to represent the
Fifth district Mr.. Sullivan, who was thu Demo
cratic candidate, maintains that Dir. FELTON,, his
Republican opponent, who awarded the
certificate, was not elected. but that he (Sulli-
vanl was. The testimony taken by Mr. Sullivan
in the effort to sustain his right to the fills
two large printed volumes. From the Sixth
district Mr.. William Vandever, Republican, was
returned as cleo led. His Democratic opponent,
Mir. Lynch of Los Angeles. editor of promi-
nence and influence. insists that he was legally
elected and that he can demonstrate it to the
satisfaction CT the House. Judge Lowry, the
Democratic REPRESENTATIVE from the Twelfth
district or Indiana in the last Congress, and who
was the candidate of bis party at the election
last year. contests the election of Mr.. White who
was awarded the seat Judge Lowry maintains
that Dir. White not citizen under the re-
quirements of the law.
These the only pending contests that
might be used so as to change the vote of the
House upon the presidency. The seating of
Messrs. Sullivan and Lynch of California and
Judge Lowry of Indiana in place of the Re-
publicaDs who were returned as elected would
give the Democrats the delegations of nineteen
States and leave tns Republicans with eighteen,
which wonld enable the Democrats to declare
their candidate for President elected.

"Reminiscences of Remenyi.


Remenyi the violinist, whose death has
been chronicled amusing man, but
something of poseur at the same time. In
travelling from place to place his concert
tours, while sitting in reading the news
paper he would hold dummy violin tucked
under his chin. As his eyes absorbed the news,
his agile fingers up and down the strings.
The passengers would stare. but he appeared to
be needless of their curious gaze. He always
said in reply to any questions on the subject,
that he was keeping his hand in practice; but
the members of his company thought that he
did it more as an advertisement than anything
else For everybody said. who is the jolly little
fellow with fiddler and there was always
some one to reply .'Oh. that Remenyi." He
was not great violinist. but have had great
deal of enjoyment from his playing. He always
reminded me of gnome, and should not have
been at all surprised had met him in the woods,
sitting cross-legged on a toad-stool and playing
his violin for the fairies TO dance.

Julian Hawthorne's First Fight.

For my own part, though the event occurred
when was more than nine years of age. l
still wildly remember and shall never forget
the thrill of noble JOY that traversed my dimin-
utive frame the first time I fairly Knocked an
adversary down. 1t was in the backyard of
boarding house in Liverpool, England. The
yard was paved with broad fagstones. and was
surrounded with high brick walls. The dispute
between my antagonist and myself began on the
steps of the kitchen door, and occasoned,
very likely. by diversity of opinion as TO
rightful ownership of eleemosynary piece of
pie; but upon that point am open to correc-
tion. What is certain is, that we and
fought in the center of the yard, and that the
party of the second part received unexpected
right -hander on that portion of his countenance
where the nose meets the upper lip. He fell
over backward. to my own surprise and extreme
satisfaction; the circumstance that he was. then
and afterward a particular and cherished friend
of mine not in the least diminishing the latter
emotion The delight of battle is respecter
of persons, and the taste of blood is stimulating
no matter whose veins supply it. No grudge
was borne either side; whereas, supposing
for example, that had eaten his pie and had
then omitted to knock him down for it, an ill.,
feeling might have been engendered that would
have rendered our innocent little lives unhappy
and malignant.
